I think I'm a third category runner who keeps to a fairly consistent training week year round, and may just up the mileage slightly in the build up to a longer race. One interval session, easy runs, parkrun or tempo, long run on Sunday. Great tips though Andy!
Thanks Andy, very helpful. Only been training a couple of years but found 400m reps early in a block leading into mile reps later and changing a couple of easy long runs 4-5 weeks before a race into a race distance and Pace practice appear to work for me.
Good thought! Though I was waiting more speech about true speed endurance (in training wise, whwt normally is something like 5x5x200m with long recoveries?), as looking like you are speaking about the race spesicific speed and how to get there etc?
Thanks! Yeah this was slightly more generic, targeting people that struggle with working on their speed endurance and trying to explain the benefits 👌 specific workouts like you mentioned would be a great follow up video!
Runner type O here. Is it a thing that when you do intervals and during your "recovery" 60/90seconds your heart rate shoots up rather than reduces, are their other freaks out there or is it just me? I get the same running hills, run uphill controlled, run downhill at the same pace (reduced effort) heart rate goes up 20-30bpm. Stop at traffic lights, heart rate goes up, etc etc It's like my bodies idea of recovery is to pump blood faster to recover.
@TheFODRunner yep, if I do a hard float I can keep it lower than if I ease off or completely stop, takes about 5-10 minutes for my heart rate to start to come back down after the initial rise when I do stop. Although this happens I still get the benefit from easing off as recovery, it's just my heart rate doesn't reflect it (tried many heart rate monitors, wrist, chest, arm, all the same) Maybe a diabetic thing, I take carbs I get fatigued and exhausted, I fuel after a run not before or during, maybe other things are topsy turvy too.

Awesome 👊 there are definitely plenty more categories for sure!
@bubsybrown8308 snap! I need to enter more 10ks and halfs next autumn rather than marathons.
One of your best videos Andy. Really helpful. Thanks😊
Thanks buddy
Really good advice in my opinion.
Thanks Andy
Thank you
Really useful information. I'll be taking this all on board when I start my next half marathon block 👌 thanks
Awesome, thanks for watching!

Sounds perfect… faster intervals at the start, race pace work towards the end 🙏

Morning all. !!! Find your strong!!!. Like to Andy. A nice weekend for everyone.
Have a great weekend!

Runner type O here.

It's like my bodies idea of recovery is to pump blood faster to recover.
So when you’re doing your intervals, your HR is lower than when you’re recovering?
@TheFODRunner yep, if I do a hard float I can keep it lower than if I ease off or completely stop, takes about 5-10 minutes for my heart rate to start to come back down after the initial rise when I do stop.

@ ah that’s very interesting! I’ll be honest, I’ve never heard of that, could well be a diabetic thing!
